Popis: The crossover is an inevitable phenomenon caused by the porosity of the membrane. Through this, not only protons, but also gases such as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen can permeate to opposite side and this causes the severe durability problem. Despite of this importance of crossover, there have been some limits in research. Therefore, much research has been conducted for an open circuit condition. For this reason, in this study, the hydrogen crossover rate under various current densities is experimentally measured for different relative humidity conditions. To detect hydrogen crossover rate, mass spectrometer is used in this experiment. With the mass spectrometer, the hydrogen crossover rate is measured and analyzed for different relative humidity conditions at various current densities.
